Ormenion by Evritiki Zygia is a striking exploration of Thracian musical heritage, bringing centuries-old traditions into a new, dynamic light. Rooted in the multicultural crossroads of Northern Greece, the album draws from the region’s rich history of migration and cultural exchange, blending ancient folk melodies with innovative arrangements and a distinct psychedelic edge.
Recorded live on analog tape, the group fuses traditional instruments like the bagpipe, kaval, davul, and Thracian lyre with vintage organ and Moog, creating a deeply textured, hybrid sound. Both original compositions and reimagined traditional songs carry the spirit of Thrace, resulting in an album that is both a preservation and evolution of its musical landscape.
